I know the cameraman. I worked in the same department as him in Chesterfield for a number of years from around 1988 until late 1990s.

The commentator was Daryl something or other, who did all our home games at the time. Completely shite, but comedy gold.

How did Benstead not save t first goal?

Week before we went away to Gigg Lane (I was up in Sheffield as my mum had died unfortunately) on a Tuesday night and we beat Bury comprehensively. Remember seeing the away end chock full of Unitedites.

It was a guy called Derrell Bentley. He got interviewed on the Life With the Blades video and, if memory serves, he was a dead spit for the short Chuckle Brother.

When you're a kid and you score a goal you imagine TV commentary in your head (or I did). Some kids had John Motson, some had Brian Moore, for me it was always this bloke. I have wondered in the years since what he's up to now.

That guys ace!

Ace? I always thought he was pathetic! I hope he did it on a voluntary basis!

I like how after the leg breaker at 05:32 he just says "both players went for the same ball".

Ha ha.

Has there been a worse miss in United's history than Bryson's at around 4.55? Three yards out with an open goal and he knocks it wide...

I know, thought it was Ronnie Rosenthal. At least he made up for it shortly after. Cameraman just picked it up.

Actually his shot hit the post. Yes, a shocking miss
